Chalk up another victory to the human spirit

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Indifferent really.
He didn't really impact me too much when he was alive, other than having to endure Ben-Hur every sodding xmas, just because granny liked his chest.
Wasn't he a bit of a gun lover IIRC?
Cheers.

"God damn you all to hell!"

Undeniably a fantastic actor, but the whole gun thing was a bit weird.

The family's description of him as "larger than life" sounds vaguely like damning praise though. A bit like when you describe a woman as "bubbly" when you really mean "annoying".

You know, I can never really take that Planet of The Apes line seriously after Homer Simpson did it.
Larger than life = overbearing, big headed, bossy, ..?

I don't necessarily agree with everything I think.

Not that I generally enjoy badmouthing the dead, but I don't thin he was a particularly good actor.

Also I have some deep concerns over his NRA activism.

I thought he was fantastic in Wayne's World and outstanding in Friends.

That's where my doubts about him lie to be honest.
He started off well by being involved with the Civil Rights movement, then fcuked it up by making homophobic comments, then getting involved with the rifle people. Cnut in my book. ;D

Excellent Movie - BUT Any decent actor of the time could have played it - it was the story and plot that makes THAT movie not Heston
